Julia
Memoria de pez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No me digas que es a mi a quien esperas
No me niegues que has perdido la razón
Yo nunca juré cumplir una promesa
Pero no soy dueño de mi corazón

Al abrigo de la luz de una vela
Siempre hay sombras que bailan alrededor
Es el miedo a que se apague al que alimentan
Y se acabe el fuego que arde en mi interior

Esperando a que salga la luna llena
Se me olvida que es el sol quien da calor

Hay detrás de las estrellas
Hilos que tiran de mi
Y como a una marioneta
Me han privado de elegir
Yo no espero que lo entiendas
Tu solo olvida el tiempo que te di

Versos que logro entender
Cuando no hay explicación

He aprendido que la suerte es pasajera
Como abeja que viaja de flor en flor
Una amante de sonrisas embusteras
Que se esconde cuando busco una canción

Esperando a que salga la luna llena
Se me olvida que es el sol quien da calor

Hay detrás de las estrellas
Hilos que tiran de mi
Y como a una marioneta
Me han privado de elegir
Yo no espero que lo entiendas
Tu solo olvida el tiempo que te di

Versos que logro entender
Cuando no hay explicación




Versos que quieren saber
Como decirte que no

Overall Meaning

The song "Julia" by Memoria de pez is a heartfelt ballad about the struggles of love and the fear of losing control over one's emotions. The opening lyrics set the tone for the song as singer laments that he is not the one his lover is waiting for, and that she has lost her mind. He admits that he never promised her anything, but his heart is out of his control. The imagery of shadows dancing around a candle's light is powerful as it represents the fear of losing the flame that keeps the passion for the relationship alive. The singer reveals that he is scared of losing the fire that burns inside of him and waits for the full moon to rise, forgetting that the sun is what provides the warmth he needs in his life.


The second verse continues the theme of love and loss, as the singer describes how he has come to understand that love is fleeting, and like a bee, it travels from one flower to the next. He talks about being deceived by someone who smiles while hiding a deceitful nature, which only adds to the pain and complexity of love. The singer feels like he is being pulled by strings that he cannot control, and he is nothing but a puppet in the hands of fate. He knows his lover will not understand him, so he asks her to forget the time he gave her, leaving him alone with the verses that he struggles to understand.


Overall, the song captures the universal feeling of love and loss, as the singer confronts the fear of impermanence and the struggle for control in relationships.
